# Reverse-engineer apps and binaries with REA

Connect coding agents to REA's MCP tools so they can inspect apps, binaries, websites, APKs, and runtime behavior with evidence-backed findings.

## Prerequisites

Node.js 22.19+ or newer, npm, an MCP-capable agent, and optional analysis tools such as Hopper, Ghidra, IDA, Chrome, JADX, binwalk, or Unblob depending on the target.

## Installation

Install or set up from the source-backed instructions:

Run `npx rea-agents setup`, choose the supported agents to configure, review the proposed MCP and instruction changes, approve them, and restart the agent. For CLI-only use, run `npm install --global rea-agents` and then `rea --help`.
